Narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'When any one of you finishes the prayer and says: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik' (O Allah, I ask You of Your bounty), then his request would be granted. And the supplication is to be made after the (obligatory) prayers.'
